Quality orders- Notify quality inspectors?

Is it possible to send a notification to quality inspectors when the quality order is triggered after production is done to say they can commence with the inspection of items? Like, if I am producing an item, when I go to report as finished I have set up a quality association to trigger a quality order so inspectors can do the check and update the test results. Can the system be set up to notify them every time a quality order is triggered. Nothing fancy.
Is it also possible to set up the system to automatically populate the results(from quality order) after inspection is done when I go report as finished? If I produced 100 items and 34 failed the quality test, it would be dreadful to update the good qty & error quantity every time production is done/ its easy to forget.

Yes, both of your requirements can be achieved in Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management (D365 SCM) through system configurations and automation. Here's how:

1. Notify Quality Inspectors When a Quality Order is Triggered

You can configure alerts or workflows to notify inspectors when a Quality Order is created.

Solution Steps:

A. Configure Alerts for Quality Orders

Navigate to: System administration > Alerts > Alert rules.
Click New and set up an alert based on Quality orders.
Select the "Created" event (this ensures that an alert is triggered whenever a new quality order is generated).
In the recipient settings, assign it to quality inspectors (or a group).
Configure the notification method (email, pop-up, or workflow).
Save and activate the alert.

B. Use Workflows for Automated Notifications
Alternatively, you can configure a workflow for quality orders:

Go to: Quality management > Quality orders > Workflows.
Create a new workflow for quality order processing.
Add a notification step to send an automated email/message to inspectors.
Assign it to the quality team or a specific role.
Enable and activate the workflow.

💡 Now, every time a quality order is triggered, inspectors will get an automated alert or email to commence inspections.

2. Auto-Populate the Good Quantity & Error Quantity After Inspection

You can automate this using the Quality Order Validation Process.

Solution Steps:

Enable Quality Management for Production
- Go to Quality management setup and ensure "Quality management for production orders" is enabled.
Use the "Copy Quality Order Results to Inventory" Feature
- Navigate to: Quality management parameters
- Enable "Automatically update inventory batch attributes from quality orders"
- Enable "Copy quality order results to production reporting"
Set Up the Quality Association (which you already have)
- Link it to the Report as Finished process.
Enable Automated Inventory Adjustments Based on Inspection
- When inspectors enter test results and approve/reject quantities, the system will:
  - Automatically adjust the Good quantity and Error quantity in the Report as Finished screen.
  - Ensure rejected quantities do not get moved to available stock.

💡 Now, when you report as finished, the system will auto-populate the correct good and error quantities based on the quality inspection results.

Final Outcome:

✅ Inspectors get notified automatically when a Quality Order is triggered.
✅ Good & error quantities auto-update in the "Report as Finished" screen after quality inspection.
